Here’s what we know so far regarding the Tigers and Eels movement.
The Tigers and Eels are expected to raid eachother. Tim Mannah will join the Tigers on less than 100k for the remainder of 2019. While the Tigers are also expected to get some cap relief with the Eels taking Russell Packer off their hands.
Parramatta are also back in the drivers seat to gaining George Burgess from the Rabbitohs.
And both the Tigers and Eels are interested in signing Waqa Blake who will get the all clear from Penrith to look elsewhere.

It will be interesting to see how he goes if he gets an opportunity after June 30
Why are we so desperate for fucking Burgess like let it go and look deeper. I swear our management is like the nine commentatary team they only know the big names
This ^^^
G Burgess is average. Packer is below average. We are mad if we pay more than a pie and light beer a game.
X 2
Agree. But word of warning, Packer doesn’t fire up when on light beer.
So Tigers get Mannah on the cheap and we get Packer to give the Tigers cap relief so they can sign Blake and then we get stuck with G. Burgess.
I don't think Burgess and Packer will add much to our forward pack, if anything our drop ball and penalties will increase through Burgess. Not in favour of this at all.
Reaks of desperation.
100% agree
Gee I feel so sorry for these players, 8.45am kickoff? Lol
Please no no not Packer
Tepai Moreroa a gun junior. Wide running regular try scorer. Now a concussed reserve grader. Well done BA. 2 more years.
